The selling pressure leads to the development of a secondary buyout (SBO) market, enabling PE funds to bail each other out. Interestingly, an increase in the number of PE funds can improve each fund’s value, because the enhanced benefits of SBOs can prevail over the reduction in value from narrower buy-sell spreads due to more intense competition. We calibrate the model using data for the US middle market and find that PE funds could lose 64% of their valuation without SBOs. Moreover, the increase in the number of funds from 2000 to 2017 contributes to a 48% increase in fund valuation due to the complementarity among funds.

Empirical facts show that the aggregate productivity measure is an overestimation without considering leased capital (<span><span>Hu et al., 2024</span></span>). In this paper, I explore the effect of leased capital on aggregate productivity in general equilibrium. Leased capital can directly alleviate collateral constraints and mitigate capital misallocation, boosting aggregate productivity (<span><span>Hu et al., 2020</span></span>). However, leasing can lead to an increased demand for labor, driving up wages, which results in a decrease in the number of producing firms and their optimal capital scale. These indirect effects can lead to a decline in aggregate productivity. Quantitatively, the indirect effects dominate the direct effects with counterfactual leasing-improved policy, and thus aggregate productivity with leased capital decreases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15525,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Finance","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 102621"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141622429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
